Dhana was an estate of Pathak
Kanyakubja Brahmins. The Pathak rulers of Dhana came from Prayagraj as Rajpurohits. Under Maratha dominion, the Pathak family saw a phenomenal rise and were made rulers of this state with responsibility of one thousand foot soldiers which gave them the title of Hazari. Hazari (Pathak) rulers also built a strong fortress for their security in Dhana ==Demographics==
